10 miles @ marathon pace. Conditions were low 70s with a low 60s dew point, although with a stiff breeze.
I'm continuing to improve in the cooler weather. I got off to a sluggish start into the wind with 6:07 and 6:10 miles, then I settled into about 5:55s with the wind and 6:03s against. I opened up just a little on the last mile to finish in 5:41. Final time was 59:59. I felt really strong, like I could've gone another 10 miles. I'm also encouraged by the faster last mile since I haven't been particularly fast so far. 5:41 didn't feel hard at all.
